Recommendation:

THAT the report from the City Engineer, dated July 17 th , 2020, BE RECEIVED for information; and,

THAT City Council DIRECT Administration to undertake public and stakeholder consultation relative to the elimination of garbage collection from most alleys and that a report be brought back to Council with recommendations on a staged approach for Council’s consideration.

Background:

During the 2020 Budget Deliberations, Council approved the following motion:

Decision Number: B9/2020

That Administration BE DIRECTED to prepare a report for Council’s consideration related to options for curbside garbage collection instead of alley collection city wide wherever possible.

This report addresses that direction.
